Jonah Winter: Selected Poems Poem Text

Psalm

See. Even that ladder leaning up against the barn

wants to make you feel better.

See how easily the dew collects on its white slats,

the way the morning hardly breathes?

Goldi-Lox and the Lost Souls

In the distance, through the tinted window,

one could see a small boy with red hair

being catapolted over the big buildings.

This is True

The Albanian president is a secret service agent.

The King of Sweden is a secret service agent.

Elizabeth Taylor is a secret service agent.

Odyssey by Homer

Places they went:

Circe,

The Island,

The Dog.

Sestina: Bob

According to her housemate, she is out with Bob

tonight, and when she’s out with Bob

you never know when she’ll get in.
